A single of the factors that makes rap so exciting is its prolonged heritage of vicious feuds. And now, a new rivalry is having center phase, courtesy of Machine Gun Kelly. The rapper dropped a surprise freestyle with some quite choice lyrics about Jack Harlow, which appeared to be a immediate response to the buzziest lyric off Harlow’s new album Jackman. The two musicians used to be near, but seemingly, they are beefing now.

The whole matter commenced when Harlow’s new solitary “They Really don’t Love It” dropped with his album Jackman on April 28. The music gained important attention for just one verse, in which Harlow statements he’s the finest white rapper since Eminem: “The hardest white boy since the a single who rapped about vomit and sweaters / And keep the feedback ’cause I promise you I’m honestly improved / Than whoever arrived to your head suitable then.”

The bold proclamation clearly led to tons of discourse, and it apparently did not sit nicely with MGK. A week after Harlow’s album dropped, MGK uploaded a freestyle over the beat of Jay-Z’s 2001 monitor “Renegade,” which showcased Eminem. Notably, MGK has a extended-standing feud with Eminem, which may well have prompted his incensed reaction even extra. The freestyle provided various jabs at Harlow, mostly accusing him of copying Drake’s style:

“Make guaranteed there is no confusions / I’m a excellent white, I can consume these barracudas… / I see why they connect with you Jackman / You jacked man’s complete swag / Give Drake his flow back, male.”

Harlow’s laid-again seem and flirtatious general public picture have normally been in comparison to Drake, primarily following the two turned just about inseparable following collaborating on their 2022 track “Churchill Downs.”

MGK’s diss keep track of does occur as a little bit of a shock, although, thinking of he’s been buddy-buddy with Harlow in the past. In 2020, MGK freestyled above the beat of Harlow’s track “What’s Poppin’,” and the video clip began with a friendly FaceTime call among the two.

So considerably, the feud is one particular-sided. Enthusiasts of the hip-hop drama will have to hold out to see if Harlow reponds to the diss observe and turns this into a true rap beef.
